Saturday Testimonies

"It is good for me to draw near to God. I have put my trust in the Lord God." Psalm 22:4-5

---

"My husband told me that nobody treated him as good as I do, and he treated nobody as bad as he is treating me. Bob and Charlyne, everything you are teaching is perfectly true." (Illinois)

---

"My husband left and I started to stand with the help of your site. I got tired and involved with a married man. God eventually sent my husband home, but I was too involved with the other man to take my husband back. He even read a Psalm to me one night when he had never read the Bible before. Now both me and my husband are in the far country because I did not believe." (Country removed)

---

"After years of separation and divorce, much to my own surprise, I find myself standing. I know I am unfaithful in counting blessings, but after a sermon about Doubting Thomas, I realized that I am more fortunate than many. I have a supporting church community and loving family; the children and I are healthy; I have a job which puts a roof over our heads and food on the table. In fact, I have everything except my husband. Thank You Lord for reminding me through Your apostle Thomas." (Hong Kong)

---

"Living so far from each other, divorced, not hearing or seeing my prodigal in ages, I am trusting God regardless of all the circumstances. Thank You Jesus." (Tennessee)

---

Our divorce is scheduled to be final this week and I am praying against it. My husband told me we should start dating after it is final. He shared things with me, and through the grace of Christ I was able to tell him that all is forgiven. Glory to God for beginning to change my husband's heart and for teaching me about where I failed as a wife. We will make it by relying on Christ." (Oklahoma)

---

"My family and I spent an entire day together yesterday after months of prayer. Thank you Jesus for your faithfulness." (Jamaica)

---

"My spouse told me that the affair had ended. God had spoken to my spouse and said the affair was wrong and to end it. The other person had a Christian friend who had been encouraging them to break it off. I got my prayer journal and showed my spouse that I had been praying for God to send the other person a Christian friend. My unsaved spouse saw God's answers to my prayers." (Maryland)

---

"My prodigal spouse told me months ago that was his final communication with me. I have prayed for the Lord to open the lines again and the Lord did. I thank Him." (Colorado)

---

"My wife was standing while I was not a believer in Jesus. We got back together for a short time. Because I had not given my heart to God, we separated again. Since that time I have received Jesus as my Savior. I am standing with God for the healing and restoration of my marriage." (North Carolina)

---

"I stood for many months with no results. I received divorce papers in the mail and wanted to give up and move on, but God keeps telling me to wait on His divine intervention. God has a plan for us." (South Carolina)

---

"My husband was over for dinner recently. He told me he missed our son a lot and said I was looking really good. He also said he was thinking of coming home. Praise be to God who has turned my husband's heart." (New Jersey)

---

"I was speaking to my husband on the phone about many issues and at the end of the conversation, I asked him if he ever thought about coming home, and he said he feels that everyone thinks about it. God is working and I'm just waiting for my miracle." (Florida)

---

"My husband called me on Sunday night and simply said he wants to come and spend the weekend with me and the children. He also said that he has given up smoking and can't stand the smell. We serve a mighty God." (United Kingdom)

---

"Only he who is helpless can truly pray." - Ole Hallesby

---

"My job had been under attack for several months due to restructuring. During this time, I prayed scripture prayers for my employment while competing for several job openings unsuccessfully. I was offered a job today at my firm without having to compete with others. I praise God that my earnings will stay the same, but the job will be less demanding and will allow plenty of time to keep God first in my life. This could only be the Lord since several hundred people are being laid off today where I work. He not only met my need, but met it in a way that is good for my stand." (Illinois)

---

"I recently returned from a trip. During the week whilst I was away the Lord spoke to me to say my spouse would be waiting at arrivals. When the plane touched down I switched on my mobile phone and the first text message to come through totally out of the blue was from my spouse. God is faithful with his promises." (United Kingdom) (PS-This stander neglected to say that the trip brought her to Pompano Beach.)

---

"My electric and gas were turned off. By the grace of God I was able to get them turned back on. The same day a place of employment that rejected me for a position, called and offered me another job. God is great." (New York)

---

"My husband's classmate called for him about a reunion. I left a message for my husband. When he called back, a pleasant conversation took place, sharing about his life and even asking me how I was doing. God is knitting us together on this journey of friendship. All praise and glory to God." (Arizona)

---

"There is no God...like you, who keeps your covenant and mercy with your servants." I King 8:23
